Welcome to the forum. Not heard of that error message before so not sure what's happened, but I'd suggest with the box powered up push a pin into the reset hole at the back until you see the box restart itself, then remove. This will do a factory reset of the box, see how that goes.

Hi, I am having the same issue. Did you fix this issue ?

Hi @Anonymous User,
This is indeed a most odd issue. First thing first... Can you please confirm the make an model of your NOW TV playback device?
Is it the NOW TV 'white' (Roku LT) box? Which looks like this: -
Is it the NOW TV 'black' (4200SK - Roku 3) box? Which looks like this: -
Is it the NOW TV 'smart' (4500SK - NOW TV) box? Which looks like this: -
Cheers

Hi,
It is the NOW TV 'smart' (4500SK - NOW TV) box. I am able to get as far as the user agreement and then have this issue.

Hi @Anonymous User,
The reset procedure is different on the 'smart' box. The following 'Help Centre' article will show you how to do it: How to reset your NOW TV Box

I am also having this problem with setting up the smart Now Tv box. Doing a factory reset has not helped at all. Have tried factory reset, hard reset using the button on the device, switching from wireless to wired connection, downloading updates etc.
Still getting the same error. "Linking Error. There was a problem connection to the network. (activation plugin not downloaded; 0) Please try again" Pressing ok leads you to a blank screen and nothing else happens.

Hi,
Thanks for that. Couldn't get to the settings menu as i was stilll in the startup menu. went back and forth a few times and it seems to have cleared the issue by itself.
